CHAPTER 7 - PAGE 4
(Transcript and visual captions below}

  "Haha, fellas, Elsinor P. Spot, huh?" Chris continued in his awkward cockblocking way.
   Ryder winced. "Yeah, she was awful."
   "Yeah," Chris continued, "Isn't she mostly for kids that don't know how sex works?"
   Ryder said, "You know, it was supposed to be lighthearted fun, but didn't work out."
   "She's, like, the worst writer in the universe. She can't make a character appealing on their own terms so she has to have every random bystander fall in love with her heroes. I bet she named those dudes after her favorite dolls."
   "I GET IT. SHE WAS AWFUL, THANK YOU."
   Jack thought to himself that Chris was probably full of blood.  So pink.
In which Jack has high standards for literature.

Jack could hear the hopping rhythms of Guy Bopper bounce through the hotel room like an elf on cough syrup and uppers. It didn't bother him that much. Then he noticed Ryder was having a problem. "Hey, what's the matter, cute stuff?"
   "God! How many people at this con do you think listen to THAT?"
   "Uh, dunno..."
   "You think she could be over there right now?"
   "Well then, huh huh, maybe we should do her a solid and 'Keep Boppin.' What do you say?"
   Ryder thought to himself, I won't have sex for a thousand years.

     By:  Kelly

Once upon a time Kelly was wondering why a given update had taken so long to finish, and then realized it had five rows of panels. If each KF-style row is four to five panels, that meant 20-25 drawings worth of comic. Ouch! Kelly resolved to avoid five row comics in the future.

Cut to recently in a sleep-deprived state. Kelly says "This comic should be easy to work on." Christopher says "Really? It has five rows." Kelly had sketched up the layout and written the comic without noticing.

FIVE. It's the boneliest number.
